In Tomcat JULI, do the 'facility specific' loggers become per-webapp logger roots?

Please answer at Stackoverflow, and I'll report the results back to this

This intent behind this question is very similar to that asked in 2011:
"How to externalize a webapp's logging.properties?", but it was never
adequately answered:

In general, I'm really grumpy when I have to unpack a WAR and fiddle with
some files **each time** I deploy it. If there is some more-general
mechanism for allowing a deployer (remember those things called 'roles'
from the EJB 1.0 spec, anyone?) to override configuration settings which
have unfortunately been embedded in the WAR file, I'd **love** to know
about it. I haven't spotted anything about this in the Tomcat doco so far.
